I am just so excited to see God working in the lives of people.  Last Friday we had an awesome Healing and Miracle Service in God's Barn.  A man came with a brace on his arm recovering from surgery.  You could only see his hand covered as he had on a long sleeve shirt, yet Pastor Bobby kept pointing to his elbow and praying for that.  The next morning that man called our home to say that when he got home he took the brace off and all the pain was gone completely.  Not only that, but he had a huge ball of swelling on his elbow, which Pastor Bobby did not know, and it was completely gone.  He came over the house shortly after that and showed us his arm and how he is now able to move it any which way without any pain!  This man is jumping for joy and giving great thanks to our great God!

I just received a beautiful card from a beautiful friend and I would like to share it with you:

What We Have In Jesus

We have hope today -

not because of our circumstances,

but because of Him

in Whom we trust.

We are strong today -

not because of our great might,

but because of the power

of the One at work within us.

We have victory today -

not because of anything

we can accomplish,

but because of what He did

for us on the cross.

I'm so excited because this is what Victory Life Ministries is all about - Hope, Strength and Victory!  Each time I think of what was accomplished on that cross 2,000 years ago, it brings me to 

such a state of thanksgiving.  Realizing that everything we could ever need has already been taken

care of at the cross is indeed the true Gospel.  When Jesus said, "It is finished," He meant it!  All sickness, pain, poverty, addictions, were put on Jesus Himself.  We are also now free from trying

to please Him or gain His love through the law of works.  WOW!

Hallelujah.  I love Him so.

Exciting news I just had to share ... A couple of years ago my dad was diagnosed with aggressive bladder cancer.  After chemo treatments, the tests would be clear, but then the cancer would always return at some point. Last February Pastor Bobby Ray held a healing and miracle service at God's Barn.  My dad happened to be visiting.  Pastor Bobby prayed for him, spoke directly to the cancer while explaining that if Jesus lives inside my dad, then the cancer MUST GO simply because no two substances can occupy the same place at the same time!  Since that day, my dad has been free of cancer!  Today, (8 mos. later) was another check up which proved, once again, that when God heals, it's permanent; it's complete.  He is Healed!  Hallelujah!  Looking forward to more miracles this Friday night at God's Barn.  All are invited.

Al and I are so excited and feel privileged to have been ordained as Pastors through the Freedom Christian Center Church in Charlotte, North Carolina.  On Oct. 12th a special ceremony was held at Pastor Bobby Ray's Church, Assembly of Faith, officially recognizing us as ordained pastors in the Body of Christ.  We see this as, simply, a precious gift from God to us.  We do not take this lightly and know that this step will impact the Kingdom of God in an awesome way.  Can't wait to see what God does!  Here are some photos to enjoy:

Awesome Worship

Hi Everyone!  Just returned from Andrew Wommack's Minister's Conference in beautiful Colorado Springs and what a week it was!  God showed me so many things and answered some questions too!  The worship was awesome and many many lives were touched in so many ways.  What struck me more than anything was Andrew's teaching on HOPE - A Positive Imagination.  WOW!  Proverbs 23:7 says "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."  The way we see ourselves is the way we will be.  If we see ourselves as sick, then we will stay sick; if we see ourselves as poor, then we will stay poor.  We must make sure that we see ourselves (in our hearts) as God sees us which is prosperous, healthy, whole and complete in every way.  It was great to meet others ministers and create friendships all around the US!  Here are some photos taken of the conference:

What an exciting day this was!  Victory Life Ministries was privileged to water baptize our good friend, Ken Clark.  I can't say enough about Ken and his determination to become all that God wants him to be and to fulfill God's plan for his life.  Take a look at some great pics...

"Then they that 

gladly received 

his word 

were baptized..."

GOD IS GOOD!

Hi Everyone!  Welcome to my blog!  I am very excited to be able to share some wonderful things the Lord has been doing in our lives ... just too many things to include on our web page!

Here's a great story ...
At six years old my grandson, Matthew, (who is now twelve) said to me that he "wanted to see Jesus." I told him I would pray that he would see Him.  I asked the Lord to reveal Himself to Matthew in a way that he knew it was Jesus.  I never forgot his request and over the next few years I would remind the Lord of what seemed very important to my grandson.

At age 11, Matthew visited and was greatly excited.  He told me he saw Jesus in a dream.  Here is Matthew describing his dream:

"I was in my bedroom with my friend and I was sitting on the bottom bunk of my bed.  The room was very plain.  I reached underneath my bed and pulled out some candy.  Then my room filled up with candy everywhere!  And we were eating and eating and eating.  

Then I stood up and looked in the empty corner of my room and then there He was.  I saw the hand of Jesus coming through the wall toward me.  He opened up his hand to give me something.  In His hand was a big red heart candy with gold in the middle. It was a Gummy heart!  And I wanted it!  So I took it and ate it.

Then me, my mom and dad were in a boat.  The waves were very rough. Then I looked up and all of a sudden I saw Jesus.  He was just standing on the water and He was looking at me!  He never said anything but He had such a peaceful face.  Even though mom and dad were scared, I wasn't!  And I was happy too!  And I wasn't even sea sick!  I saw Jesus!

Matthew

Now as a grandma praying for her grandson, you can imagine the impact this had on me.  Just a few days before Matt had the dream the Lord told me that He was going to reveal His plan for Matthew to him.  The dream was the beginning!  And the best part - he no longer gets sea sick!  In fact this past summer we were on a boat in very rocky seas and I was the one that got so sick and it didn't even touch Matthew!  

God is doing wonderful things in his life.  My thought:  Pray for your kids and grandkids!  God is faithful!
